Must it always be said THE KINKS ARE NOT UNDERRATED JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HEAR THEM 30 YEARS LATER ON THE RADIO!! TRUST ME THEY WERE WELL THOUGHT OF BACK IN THE DAY!!
Googled the Kinks to hear the original version of this song and found a film of the Kinks' appearance on some U.S. tv show in 1970. Amazingly, the clothes the Kinks wore then and the clothes worn in this skit are EXACT replicas of one another. Big thumbs up to whoever did the wardrobe for this bit.
Kevin is one of the most underrated ppl in Hollywood and yet his career spans over 30 yrs and his family life is exemplary, a testament to his talent and character. This was executed very well by both of them :)
This is the best ever!! Jimmy is so talented and I had no idea Kevin could sing like that. I have watched this several times already! The song has been stuck in my head for 2 days.. Love, love, love it!
I'm really impressed with the recreation of the Kinks' look for the era of this album, including spot-on depictions of keyboardist John "The Baptist" Gosling and drummer Mick Avory.
Never really watched the show but I've seen a few of the clips on utube and Fallon's(and his guests) multiple talents have impressed me but this one blew me away. In my 20 years of playing guitar I've never had the urge to learn this song but it's happening today. Chord progression is simple enough and sounds so good
Was in another room when this came on and I was thinking the actual Kinks were performing and couldn't believe it. I run to the TV and the first person I see singing is ... KEVIN BACON ?
Wow is Jimmy back? This is the first time I've seen him play guitar since his finger injury. He seems to be doing some of the chord changes but doesn't appear 100% Still, PROGRESS. Good for him, and good for humanity, the world, and the cosmic thread that connects life eternal.
I wish Jimmy would do these music sets for the whole show! Or maybe a variety show like The Carol Burnett Show. He has the skills and commercial financing to pull it off!
The lyrical flaw that stood out to me was that this song is supposed to be in the 70's.. but you couldnt buy a camry til like 1986. So it was a co-rolla!
Funny enough, that's what the original bass part looks like! There's a Kinks video on TH-cam (what they are trying to match) and their bass player is moving like that. Props to the Tonight Show for replicating that!
Even as a parody this song is still a masterpiece. Ridiculous how underrated The Kinks are...

@@garysnow1475 I'm aware they were popular in their day, but they deserve the same reputation enjoyed by The Beatles and The Stones.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 Haha, no they don't.
@@Larrivee28 Haha, yes they do.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 Not even in the same realm as The Beatles.
As a guitar player I appreciate Bacon actually playing the right chords 95% of the time. Guy’s got chops.
Well he has a band with his brother and has released 6 albums so I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing.
He’s been a professional musician for decades.
Hear hear 😎

It’s from Top of the Pops which is English
Lookup "Weird Al Yoda" to hear a better parody of Lola.
Kevin Bacon: is he an acting singer or a singing actor? Doesn't matter-he's great being both.
Both. He has a band.
Mr Bacon can also play the harmonica
Him and his brother hot dog have had a band most of his life
The guy on bass has clearly never played bass which adds to the absurdity of the lyrics! Amazing song and video! Love it!!

notyetanotheralias 1
his career spans more like 40 years.he was in animal house in 1978.he actually had a bit role back in 1951.
@@michaelautrey6641 no one thought that was funny but me....
How exactly is he underrated? You are stupid
Word
I love that the gear and outfits are exactly what the Kinks had, spot on.
Yes, the drummer looks and even plays so much like Mick Avory.
This is the best ever!! Jimmy is so talented and I had no idea Kevin could sing like that. I have watched this several times already! The song has been stuck in my head for 2 days.. Love, love, love it!
Oh man, idk have you heard their version of ‘paint it black’ 😂 both are amazing but that one wins for me.
I watched this on my Motorola.
M-o-t-o rola!
same
Jimmy, you are the best man! Underrated I think for how talented he is.👊
Same
I watched this with Co-rona,
C-O-RO-NA🤢
Great tribute to the greatest rock band
The Kinks!
They were good, but greatest?
The clothes and everything is perfectly accurate to the Kinks really doing it live! This is a masterpiece even though it is not the original!
I'm really impressed with the recreation of the Kinks' look for the era of this album, including spot-on depictions of keyboardist John "The Baptist" Gosling and drummer Mick Avory.
I had to take a second view to check that drummer here was not Mick Avory. So good.
I've never laughed harder at a Jimmy Fallon song. Thank you!
These two are great! These parody songs the best. Jimmy is so talented. Kevin Bacon just makes it.
These Jimmy-Kevin collabs are hilarious. I hope they keep coming
jimmy is so talented he always brings it
The attention to detail is staggering! Which makes it even better - in fact it’s brilliant!
The KINKS rock and so Kevin and Jimmy. Great fun! I cannot spell "doughnut"...priceless.
Man Kevin Bacon with hair looks just like Myles Kennedy!
Haha I thought it was him xD
OMG Right! lol
I thought it was Myles at first too. they could almost pass for twins.
Hehehe I have always thought Myles looked like a young Kevin Bacon - and this was freaky hehehe proof right there 😂🤣
I think he did it on purpose, someone told him, although he was supposed to look like a Davies?? Don't remember which....
This is so much fun, love Kevin B and LOVE anything Jimmy does 💖
Bacon n Fallon ..HILARIOUS! actually very talented musicians and vocalists. Love em both!!
The Kinks were coming on when I lived in the UK as a teen, always loved them. Never had the awareness they deserved but they roll on
Amazing! JF is always a winner and KB rocked it! Thanks for the laughs!
I never fail to be impressed at how spot on Jimmy Fallon is… whether it’s music… or comedy…or his incredible impressions
Yet another reason to love Kevin Bacon. What a goddamn gem.
They should do this every week with Kevin Bacon! Great segment :)
Mickey Holmgaard ,
I was 15 years old when i saw the Kinks in concert.
Good times 😂
Great cover of a great song!
YES!!! THEY FINALLY PUT THIS BACK UP!!!
This is brilliant
This is so cleverly done... And funny.. Love it!
I also love Sammy Sosa...
Fallon is the absolute bestest night show host. I am grinning like an idiot from start to end.
This is my favorite 'First drafts..' video they've done so far! Hilarious!
Being a writer on this show would be so much fun 😂
This song has been stuck in my head all day now
Love the first drafts but this is my favourite. Just hysterical.
I am 22 again, stoned, half in the bag and lovin life with a awesome band
Don’t get any better than this!!
i love this paroday🤣, makes me want to hear more of The Kinks songs other than lola, come dancing and sunny afternoon 😁
Never really watched the show but I've seen a few of the clips on utube and Fallon's(and his guests) multiple talents have impressed me but this one blew me away.
In my 20 years of playing guitar I've never had the urge to learn this song but it's happening today. Chord progression is simple enough and sounds so good
I absolutely love this. I will never listen to the original song the same, again!
I forever love this rendition in a beautifull fun way, Jimmy and kevin love you guys forever!! sheers from Chula Vista.
So funny and they sound so good. I'd listen to anything these two sing together....
Anything you come up with you sure do it well. Never a dull moment with you! I love it! And you for what you do! Smiles everytime!🙏🏻
Brilliant jimmy and Kevin... Love from india
Respect for the recreation of the Kink's TOTP appearance... They went to some effort to do this. Fun !!
Kevin Bacon & Jimmy's first draft songs should be a regular feature
Too f ing FUNNY@@ can LAUGH anytime, now. "I cannot spell doughnut." 😅
No, it's a corolla. 😅
Great song! I remember singing this song and then realizing what it was about lol. I had no idea.
YES THE KINKS THIS NEEDS TO BE A REGULAR SEGMENT
I wish they would continue for hours...this is awesome!!!
Still cracking up every time i hear this!
One of my favorite songs is "My Sharona".
This is so well done. Fallon really is more the performer than a talk show host.
Was in another room when this came on and I was thinking the actual Kinks were performing and couldn't believe it. I run to the TV and the first person I see singing is ... KEVIN BACON ?
Well, according to his wife, she likes a Kinky Kevin. Wait.....or is it a Bacon Band??? 🤔 Hmmm..... 😂
Estupenda la parodia de Lola, con el sello distintivo de los fabulosos y sensacionales Kinks!!!
Wow is Jimmy back? This is the first time I've seen him play guitar since his finger injury. He seems to be doing some of the chord changes but doesn't appear 100% Still, PROGRESS. Good for him, and good for humanity, the world, and the cosmic thread that connects life eternal.
Awesome song Kevin and Michael
Jimmy could've also done music parodies like a Weird Al Yankovic! It's so retro snl type skit! Love it!😂✌
Love it! Kevin is an amazing singer and is so underrated! Jimmy also needs to do more serious stuff as his vocals are awesome!
Hilarious!! God Save the Kinks, Kevin, and Jimmy!
These guys should bring First Drafts back to the show!
I will contribute my bit and watch this video atleast once daily!! This deserves more views
I don't know why this made me laugh so freaking hard!Hilarious!
What a Tune!!!
These are so cute! I’m on a roll here! I hope they do more!
I love how the bass player is making the guitar solos xD
This is brilliant
I just noticed Jimmy's wink (or squint) and smile after properly spelling "doughnut." So cute!
Of course, I think that Jimmy is such a doll, anyway. :)
Ohhhh you’re right, he’s so damn cute 😭
I literally love this so much, this made my day
This my favorite of them all!
This is Awesome! So talented and funny.
I love their covers of rock songs ! I want more videos !
My favourite song. They say covers are never better than the original, but in this case it might be
"And it is the Camry... -or is it Corolla?" Had me good! :D
I woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed
Then I watched this vid now I'm running through my Gladiolas
That's G-L-A-D-I -olas.
GL. GL. Gladiolas
Oh what fun. Never seen a Tonight Show, just the odd ting. What a hoot. More laughs like this please.
Kevin Bacon is a treasure.
My favorite song in this series.
Omg! How can you not love Jimmy Fallon!! Too funny😂
I wish Jimmy would do these music sets for the whole show! Or maybe a variety show like The Carol Burnett Show. He has the skills and commercial financing to pull it off!
I am absolutely addicted to this clip.
Doughnut Is the new do not.
Jimmy I really really love your show.
i have a dog named lola and ive been playing guitar for 3 years. idk why i still havent learned this song 😂😂😂 its always on the "list" 😂
This was fabulous 👏 Way to go guys! Brilliant! ❤😂
Every time I hear this song, I cannot keep from thinking of Weird Al's "Yoda". hee hee This is a good version too.
If they were singing the original words, this would be hilarious but with the different lyrics, this is brilliant!
I LOVE ALL OF THESE W RUDD AND BACON N JACK BLACK. Kinks was my FIRST concert
Awesome job Kevin and Jimmy!
That drummer tho!!! I love how he has 0 clue :D
I’d like to see footage of the off stage guitarist who played the lead fills.
The drummer " had 0 clue". About what?
You Got Me is one of the best songs ever!
They should do a nirvana one, Kevin bacon could pass a Kurt cobain jimmy as Dave groul ,
IceyAndTheBeast fuck yeah
yes!
IceyAndTheBeast OH shit!! you right!
IceyAndTheBeast that would be funny
Groul?
I LOVED IT! I LOVE JIMMY FALLON
This is one of my favorite things I've ever seen
Jimmy imitates Ray's voice so good!
I think Jimmy is Dave and Kevin is doing Ray right down to the gap in his teeth.
@@philt1771 No. Watch the original Lola video. Ray is wearing a white jacket and playing a Steel guitar, just like Jimmy here.
@@DeeckyRizzo My bad but Kevin had his teeth made up to look like Ray's.
LOL, this is great, I love the dobro Jimmy is playing.
awesome. you two are my idols for real. longtime fan of Mr Bacon and Jimmy... well you're friggin Jimmy 👊😎
The lyrical flaw that stood out to me was that this song is supposed to be in the 70's.. but you couldnt buy a camry til like 1986. So it was a co-rolla!
i still remember the last time when they sing about horse lol
These are my favourite skits you do, please consider covering some Clapton!
I love how the bass player is making the guitar solos xD
levialexstein dying. 😂
Funny enough, that's what the original bass part looks like! There's a Kinks video on TH-cam (what they are trying to match) and their bass player is moving like that. Props to the Tonight Show for replicating that!
1970 The Kinks Lola BBC Top of The Pops
No he play the right bass part and move like the kinks in the video on top of the pop
Love all of these both are great .
